> n 2 or 3 years, no one will be selling phones charging with Micro-USB

> In 3 years, USB-C will dominate the market,

Which is another type of fallacy, but that's besides the point -- why will they change? Because everyone wanted a different charger or because some company decided to be "brave" and "courageous" and change them?

I don't understand your question or why my statement is a fallacy. Look at the market. Android phones are clearly moving toward USB-C.

As for why? My pet theory is because the companies making phones could no longer defend the outdated and annoying Micro-USB in the face of Lightning.
